were my stepping stones. "Bitches Brew" led to John McClaughlin AND Charlie Parker!Crazy about Sonny Rollins on B/N AND some of the recent titles... Duke Ellington remains as much of a touchstone as Sonny Sharrock or Joe Zawinul.
And if we don't have our favorites by now, something is amiss, so it must remain subjective.
You made it as far as "The River"? That's well beyond my call of duty yet doesn't detract
from Mr. Hancock easily qualifying as a "GIANT"!
